I really like your sand sculpture group friends

Bai Ye glanced at his daughter, then looked at Mo Xiangwen, frowned, and said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "We are her parents after all. It's her college entrance exam. Since we have the time, of course we'll take her there."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Shishi turned to look at them with a big smile and said, "Let Xiang Wen take me! Dad, Mom, you can find a place to sit and wait for me to finish the exam, or you can go home and rest first! Xiang Wen will take me home safely after the exam!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Qianping silently looked at her daughter, then at Mo Xiangwen, unsure of what to say.

Bai Ye was so shocked that his mouth dropped open slightly, he could hardly believe that this was his introverted and obedient daughter.

This...this hasn't even happened yet, and you're already starting to dislike your parents?

Fu Qianping's gaze finally landed on Mo Xiangwen. Mo Xiangwen felt the gaze and returned a reassuring smile, saying in a steady tone, "Uncle and Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Shishi, get her safely to the exam venue, and bring her back safely after the exam."

“Yes, yes!” Bai Shishi nodded vigorously in agreement, showing complete trust in Mo Xiangwen’s words.

This scene left Su Mengli, Su Mengyao, Fu Qianping, and Bai Ye themselves somewhat at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

Bai Ye couldn't help but lean closer to his wife, lowering his voice, his tone full of hesitation: "This... should we really let him take it?"

Looking at her daughter's dependent yet bright eyes as she gazed at Mo Xiangwen, Fu Qianping felt more open-minded than her husband.

In any case, she was the one who personally handed Shishi over to Xiang Wen in the beginning.

At this point, what else is there to say?

Fu Qianping replied softly, "No problem, let him take her. Look how happy Shishi is, being relaxed is the most important thing."

"But is this kid... reliable?" Bai Ye was still a little worried.

"Your daughter spent the whole summer with him, didn't you see how much more cheerful she became when she came back? She was all smiles all the time. Isn't it reliable that she could have such a change in her?" Fu Qianping asked softly.

Bai Ye was speechless after his wife's words, and could only sigh helplessly in the end. He turned back to Mo Xiangwen and said solemnly, "Then... I'll leave Shishi in your care."

Mo Xiangwen nodded seriously: "Yes, Uncle, don't worry."

After seeing off Bai Ye, who kept looking back, and Fu Qianping, who seemed much more relaxed, the atmosphere in the milk tea shop became even more relaxed.

Su Mengli sat slightly in front of Bai Shishi, leaning forward gently, and said in a soft voice, "Shishi, remember what I told you before: when you get the test paper, first skim through it and manage your time wisely. Don't panic if you encounter a question you can't figure out right away; just mark it and skip it. Make sure you get points for the questions you know how to do."

"Yes! I remember, Sister Mengli." Bai Shishi nodded seriously.

Mo Xiangwen sat down next to her, handed her a cup of warm ginger tea, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just treat it as a normal mock exam. We've seen your hard work, so just do your best and you'll be fine."

"I know, Xiang Wen." Bai Shishi held the warm cup, feeling her tension dissipate considerably.

Sitting across from her, Su Mengyao pumped her fist in encouragement: "Go Shishi! You're the best! Let's go out for a big meal to celebrate after the exam!"

"Okay, Mengyao-jie!" Shishi's eyes lit up. "Let's go eat grilled fish together then!"

"Okay! Let's go eat grilled fish together."

Although Shishi's body was not yet suitable for eating grilled fish, Mo Xiangwen did not want to dampen their enthusiasm at this time.

Yan Nuoya, sitting on the other side, took out several exquisite-looking pens from her small bag and gently pushed them in front of Bai Shishi.

"Holding the writing brush of Kui Xing, one can pass the imperial examination and leap over the dragon gate."

Mo Xiangwen added on her behalf, "Nuoya and I went to buy the 'Confucius pen' yesterday. It's mainly for its symbolism, but it's fine to use it as a spare pen."

Bai Shishi nodded and carefully put the pen into her pencil case.

Looking at everyone, she felt her heart filled with warmth, and the tension and unease she felt earlier seemed to quietly dissipate in the embrace of her friends.

"Thank you everyone." Bai Shishi looked at them, her tone earnest: "I will not let you down."

Time slipped by unnoticed, and the time to enter was drawing ever closer.

Mo Xiangwen stood up and said softly, "That's enough, Shishi, let's go."

The other three also stood up.

"Shishi, we're waiting for you to come back here!" Su Mengyao said with a smile.

"Keep it up." Yan Nuoya's eyes were full of encouragement.

"Relax and believe in yourself," Su Mengli said softly.

Bai Shishi nodded vigorously, her eyes resolute: "Yes! After I finish my exams!"

Mo Xiangwen and Bai Shishi walked out of the milk tea shop side by side and headed towards the examination center not far away under the shade of the trees.

"How are you feeling? Still nervous?" Mo Xiangwen asked, tilting his head and deliberately slowing his pace.

Bai Shishi took a deep breath of fresh air and shook her head: "With Xiang Wen and everyone else here, I don't feel so nervous anymore."

She paused, then whispered, "Actually... just thinking about being able to play with everyone again after the exam makes the exam seem less scary."

"That's good. Remember this feeling." Mo Xiangwen smiled. "Look, there's one of the doors leading to your dreams just ahead. Walk in and face it with equanimity."

"Mm!" Bai Shishi nodded, walked silently for a short distance, then suddenly stopped, looked up, and stared at Mo Xiangwen with bright eyes, a hint of cautious expectation in her gaze, "Xiangwen... if, I mean if, I really get into H University... could you give me a reward?"

The words "Whether you pass the exam or not, you can get a reward anytime you want" almost came out of my mouth.

But then he thought that perhaps he shouldn't respond to her efforts and expectations with such a vague promise at this moment.

So he half-squatted down, looked at her tenderly, and nodded: "Okay. If Shishi gets into university, just name whatever reward you want. I'll do my best to grant your request and help you achieve it."

Bai Shishi's eyes instantly brightened, and she took a small step forward, leaning close to his ear.

Her voice softened further, but carried an unusual seriousness: "Then... something spanning a lifetime... is that okay too?"

Mo Xiangwen's heart seemed to skip a beat, slightly shaken by the expectation implied in her words.

But he had already made up his mind, so why would he pretend to be stupid at a time like this?

He looked into her scarlet eyes and nodded firmly without hesitation: "Okay."

"It's a promise! To Senior Wenxue!" Bai Shishi's face instantly lit up with a bright smile, and she extended her slender little finger, "Pinky promise!"

Mo Xiangwen was intrigued by her calling him "senior" and extended his little finger, hooking it with hers earnestly.

"Yes, it's arranged."

As she spread her fingers, Bai Shishi seemed to be instantly energized. Her previous slight apprehension vanished, replaced by a surge of motivation, making her appear incredibly energetic and full of fighting spirit.

She clenched her fist tightly towards the entrance of the examination room, then waved to Mo Xiangwen: "I'm going in now!"

"Wait a minute." Mo Xiangwen stopped her and placed a red envelope and a bay leaf in her palm: "It's okay if you can't bring them in, just put them in your bag later."

"Also, I believe in Shishi."

Bai Shishi paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously, took it, and put it in her bag.

"Ok!"

Mo Xiangwen stood there, watching her merge into the crowd of examinees and walk towards the door that would determine the fate of many.

Keep it up, Shishi!

Chapter 224 Your Daughter Is Running Away. (5K Combination)

In the evening, five young people sat around a round table by the window in a shop.

The air was filled with the aroma of various dishes, and there were also many cold dishes and snacks on the table.

"Come on, let's raise a glass!" Su Mengyao was the first to excitedly raise her glass full of juice, her face beaming with a bright smile. "Congratulations to our little Shishi on her successful liberation!"

Congratulations, Shishi!

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Finishing the exam is a victory."

The others also laughed and raised their glasses, which clinked together in the air.

Under the warm yellow light, everyone wore a relaxed and happy smile.

Surrounded by everyone's enthusiasm, Bai Shishi blushed slightly and waved her hands shyly, "No, no, no, it's everyone who's amazing. Thanks to Sister Nuoya for helping me with the study plan, I was able to complete the tasks step by step; it's also thanks to Sister Xiangwen and Sister Mengli for teaching so well, allowing me to master so much knowledge in the shortest amount of time; and Sister Mengyao, who has always been cheering me on..."

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and couldn't help but turn to Mo Xiangwen beside her, her eyes sparkling: "Xiangwen! The content of the exam is really similar to the key points and practice questions that you and Sister Mengli usually tell me! Especially the Chinese! The composition is almost exactly what you said."

Looking at her excited expression, Mo Xiangwen smiled and said softly, "That's good. It means our efforts weren't in vain."

"Mmm!" Bai Shishi nodded vigorously, her tone light as she recalled the exam. "On the first day, when I saw the essay topic, I felt instantly at ease! I barely hesitated and started writing from the first question, and then wrote down the rest of the essay very calmly. The second and third days also went exceptionally smoothly!"

That makes sense.

The confidence she gained from the first exam acted as a powerful stimulant for subsequent exams, allowing her to maintain her indomitable spirit when facing difficult problems, and many difficulties were naturally resolved.

However, getting into H University is no easy feat. Although Bai Shishi has a much more solid foundation than him and performed exceptionally well this time, no one can guarantee whether she can get into H University.

Yan Nuoya is right. Under normal circumstances, she should be able to get into a pretty good university.

Su Mengli smiled as she looked at the excited Bai Shishi and said softly, "It's good that I can help Shishi."

Bai Shishi nodded happily again.

Mo Xiangwen didn't delve into the topic. He changed the subject and said to Bai Shishi with a hint of mystery, "By the way, Shishi, we've prepared a little surprise for you."

"A surprise? What is it?" Bai Shishi blinked curiously.

"It should be here soon," Mo Xiangwen glanced in the direction the waiter came out with the food. "You'll see in a bit."

As soon as he finished speaking, a waiter came over with a small square oven and carefully placed it in the center of the table.

When Bai Shishi saw the oven, her eyes lit up, as if she had already guessed what was going on.

She couldn't help but stand up and peek into the oven. Sure enough, she saw a steamed fish with a golden-brown, slightly charred skin, topped with a little minced garlic and cilantro, lying inside, steaming hot and fragrant.

"Grilled fish?!" she exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Mo Xiangwen with some concern.

Although she said she would eat it before the exam, she didn't expect Xiang Wen to actually listen to her whims.

After all, she still needs to control her diet.

“Yes, it’s the grilled fish that you and Mengyao were talking about wanting to eat.” Mo Xiangwen explained with a smile, “We specifically confirmed with Teacher Fu and also asked the doctor. This way of cooking without chili peppers means that it’s okay to eat a little bit of fishy smell, as long as you control the amount.”

"Really?" Bai Shishi was still a little unsure.

"Really." Mo Xiangwen stood up, carefully used serving chopsticks to remove a piece of fish, and after confirming that there were no small bones, placed it in the bowl in front of her. "I'll make an exception for you today, so you can eat without worry."

"Yay!" Bai Shishi finally relaxed, a satisfied smile spreading across her face as she carefully savored the food.

"Now, I can finally work hard with everyone!" Bai Shishi said energetically as she swallowed the fish in her mouth.

Upon hearing this, Su Mengyao joked, "Then Shishi might be too busy."

"Don't worry, there's no rush," Su Mengli said considerately. "Don't be too tired after the exam. Take your time to adjust and take it slow."

Yan Nuoya blinked, gave a slight smile, and nodded.

"Let's cheer each other on," she said.

Amidst everyone's laughter and cheers, the celebration banquet drew to a close.

Mo Xiangwen and the others safely escorted Bai Shishi to her doorstep and watched her go inside before leaving with peace of mind.

As soon as Bai Shishi stepped into the house and saw the living room light on, she cheerfully said, "I'm home!"

"Hey, Shishi's back, come here quickly."

Sitting on the living room sofa, Fu Qianping responded and then turned to her husband beside her, saying, "See, I told you, Xiang Wen knows what he's doing and will definitely bring Shishi back properly. Even if he really wants Shishi to stay at their place a little longer, he'll call us first to discuss it."

Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter return safe and sound, but he still let out a soft sigh.

Bai Shishi changed into slippers and walked into the living room. Seeing her parents were there, she asked, "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?"

Fu Qianping took her daughter's hand and made her sit beside her, her tone gentle: "It's nothing. Shishi, did you enjoy dinner with Xiang Wen and the others tonight?"

"I'm so happy!" Bai Shishi answered without hesitation, her face still flushed with excitement.

"That's good." Fu Qianping gently patted the back of her hand, exchanged a glance with her husband, and said in a slightly more formal tone, "Shishi, can you sit down and chat with your parents for a while? We have something we want to discuss with you."

Although Bai Shishi was a little confused, she still nodded obediently: "Okay."

Bai Ye cleared his throat and said, "It's about... your surgery."

"Surgery?" Bai Shishi looked at her father in surprise. "Me?"

"Yes." Bai Ye nodded: "The doctor said that Shishi is ready to have the surgery. After the surgery, Shishi will be a healthy and well-behaved child. Are you happy?"

Bai Shishi was taken aback, then a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Happy." She nodded vigorously.

However, she quickly realized what was happening, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, she looked at her father hesitantly for a moment, and then asked softly, "When is it?"

"I can go to the hospital to be admitted in a couple of days."
